Can you explain me this behaviour please?

Wayne,

thanks for your reply.

This is the rsync call:

rsync -vaS --delete-after --include-from=$INCLUDE_FILE 
--exclude-from=$EXCLUDE_FILE / $SERVER:/

This is my exclude file (sorted for this mail):
/backup/workstations
/boot/
/dev
/etc/*.env
/etc/conf.d/hostname
/etc/conf.d/local.start
/etc/conf.d/net
/etc/crontab
/etc/distcc/hosts
/etc/env.d/
/etc/fstab
/etc/group
/etc/hosts
/etc/mtab
/etc/passwd
/etc/resolv.*
/etc/rsyncd.conf
/etc/runlevels/
/etc/samba/smb.conf.inc
/etc/shadow
/etc/ssh/ssh_host*
/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
/home
/mnt/
/opt/distributed.net/
/proc
/root/
/sys/
/tmp
/usr/tmp/
/var/cache/dhcp*
/var/lib/dhcpc/
/var/lib/init.d/
/var/lib/logrotate.status
/var/lib/nfs/
/var/lib/ntp/
/var/lib/slocate/
/var/lock/
/var/log/
/var/run/
/var/spool/
/var/tmp/


My include file is empty.

Unfortunately I dont remember the exact filename of one of these files, 
because after I removed the --relative option the files u requested me to 
name were deleted due to --delete-after. IIRC it was something like
/etc/init.d/._cfg0000_bootmisc (maybe something else instead of 'bootmisc' 
or located directly in /etc/).

Thanks a lot for your interest.
